Once A Catholic by Mary O'Malley
"I've told you before" say Mary to her boyfriend when he dares to suggest a register office wedding. " It's once a catholic always a Catholic and that's all there is to it.
Adolescence is never fun. When you're 15 years old in a north west London convent school in the mid-1950's it can be sheer hell. Mary McGinty and her friends Mary Gallagher and Mary Mooney (and all the other Marys in form 5A at the Convent of Our Lady of Fatima) are getting to grips with O-Levels, sex, religion and rock 'n' roll. Sex battles the sacraments in this hilarious West End hit.
Winner of the London Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy.
Mary O'Malley is the daughter of an Irish father and an English-Lithuanian mother. She grew up in Harrow, Middlesex and was educated at the Convent of Jesus and Mary in Harlesden in north west London. Via acting, dancing, singing marriage, motherhood, cake-baking and divorce she found herself writing for fringe theatre in the early 1970's. She attended a workshop for playwrights run by Howard Brenton at the Royal Court Theatre and Once a Catholic was first produced there in 1976. The play subsequently transferred to the West End.
LOST Theatre are proud to bring this award winning comedy back to the London stage for its first major revival since 1991
